Alex Hoffman: "Why I think Wayne Shorter Sucks"
JSngry replied to CJ Shearn's topic in Miscellaneous Music
Why is it "necessary"? I mean, I think it's advisable, smart, even. For me, that is. But when "necessary" comes into play, then ok, necessary in order to be a certain Thing X. But is Thing X the only Thing allowable or desirable? If so, then what about "outsider" music, or willful hermit-geniuses like, say Warne Marsh, or indigenous arts that exist only to sustain themselves? I kinda like a world where those thing can be there just because. But the people who traffic in such ideas quite often have no use for thins such as relevancy to anything besides their world, or evolving away from what they already feel to be their own absolute truth. What I'm uncomfortable with is the notion that if somebody makes Music A then one must abide by Wisdom A or else one should just SDASTFU. I ain't there with that. Do what you need to do and then live with the consequences. Just don't expect sympathy and/or encouragement from people who think you are more or less or totally wrong. If you're doing what you're doing to prove somebody else's wrong instead of to prove your own right, then, hey, you really are a schmuck. Otherwise, it's all good. -

Alex Hoffman: "Why I think Wayne Shorter Sucks"

I know that I disagree with him about Wayne Shorter, and fundamentally so, but...so what? It's not like you have to like Wayne Shorter, or even worse, should like Wayne Shorter.That's kinda creepy. Do I have to like Bill Evans? Do I have to should like Bill Evans? If so, then I fail at life. And oh well about that. I just think that he made the mistake of absolutizing his own beliefs and more or less turning it from "doesn't work for me" into "Wrong For Life"...and even that's not a mistake unless you're looking for reinforcement, in which case, sorry wrong world. And even then, hey, courage of conviction recognized, and all that. But beyond that, I remain resoundingly unconvinced of any need to be convinced. Which to me is the ultimate Sad Joke - who is trying to convince who of what, and why them? And ok, while we're in Full Fuck Afterglow...fuck Facebook. And fuck "social media" in general. But that's just me. -

Blowing your horn into the bathroom tiles...
JSngry replied to Hardbopjazz's topic in Musician's Forum
I think Buster might have been having an inside joke. It's the same thing as singing in the shower, an illusion of grandeur. If you want an accurate representation about what your sound is really doing, you want to practice in a dead space, like a closet full of clothes, or an actual practice module with sound-absorbent acoustic tiles. Or even into a wall, if it's not too reflective. Then, once you get those refinements down, if you want to go about getting louder/bigger/whatever, take it outside, where there's no bounceback at all. The temptation ther, though, is to be loud above all else, and then the refinements can get lost. If you can do both, though, hey, you bad! But standing in the shower blowing into a set of ceramic tiles, geez, you'll get what sounds like a big sound by just blinking your eyes! -

Not awkward at all. I for one would like to hear what the young man has to say absent the illusory privacy of Facebook, and absent an inept interviewer. -
If it's on Laff, it's definitely NSFW, you can be assured.

Anybody who inspires the phrase "a Free-Spirited Chocolatier" is somebody I'd have felt blessed to have known. Condolences. -
Well, yeah, that's just common courtesy.

Why would you ever need to floss except the night before and they day of your dentist visit? Not sure I understand the concern...

Carnegie Hall, NYC, April 18, 1963...what was that event, exactly, and why were all those people there for that one jam? Was this a Schuller concert with Dolphy's band given a feature spot, and then they had a jam at the end of the night?

Sounds to me like instead of taking heroin to deaden themselves to the ongoing outside world in order to attempt to access their inner beauties & truths, they're using their music to deaden themselves to the ongoing outside world and just stopping there. Maybe they can do a version of The Connection and take all the heroin out. -
